This review is from: Farmhouse (Audio CD)
Wow, It starts from the whimsical twang of Farmhouse and sets us into motion, dragging us under the water to the bottom of the sea, where a barn sits. Twist will spin you around and around until it lets you go. This spins you into a corner called BUG! The first and hopefully not last attempt at an alterna rock song straight from the backwoods of Vermont. This gives us a boost into the train, where we start to ride the railsBack on the Train. WOW is all I can say for Heavy Things, it starts off likeBOOM! and just doesn't stop from there. Gotta Jiboo is a great song in the memory of Dr Seuss rhymes, how it makes you move you just can't help it! Dirt, slows us down a bit to a beautifully orchestrated piece, that definitley shines above any of the slow songs from Billy Breathes. Piper might be my surprise favorite, after seeing it live I was afraid to hear the short version, but they made it well worth the 5 minutes. Sleep is probably another good quiet song, but for this album it has been placed merely as a space to blend Piper and the next song, The Inlaw Josie Wales, with Jerry Douglas on Dobro and Bela Fleck on banjo, WOW! Our next two installments are Sand and First Tube, get your dancin' shoes on, it is the closest i have heard PHISH come to recreating a live show in the studio. Driver is awesome, it makes me feel happy and fuzzy and warm inside. And finally Mist, this is the reason to buy the importTRUST ME!
